Wow...you guys really did such a great job with the last sketch challenge! We soooo loved your creations and you really gave us a tough time choosing just 3 projects. Thanks ever so much to everyone who played along....you guys were just awesome! ;-)

So without further adieu, here are our TOP HATS. Our TOP HAT for this challenge is

My name is Lisa Novogrodski- I have been in the scrapbooking/ mixed media world for several years now. I started out with a simple scrapbook style that has now evolved into a mixed media grungy style alternating with shabby chic depending on my mood. I also love to draw and paint and am focusing on artistic growth in that area. I've been lucky enough to design for some amazing companies over the years. Currently I design for BoBunny and Scraps of Darkness and Scraps of Elegance where I also am the Design Team Coordinator. I have also had the honor of being published in several print magazines - Somerset Memories, Scrapbooking and Beyond and Crafts N Things. Thanks so much to Denise for inviting me to guest design this month and participate with this fabulous mood board!

Lisa created this gorgeous and stunning page.

This is a photo of one of my scrapbook friends - Jenny Dodds. I have known her a long while in the scrap world. She was a member of Scraps of Darkness from way back. I always wanted to scrap this photo for her and I used to tell her all the time. I never got to it and her husband just passed away in January. When I saw the mood board and the quote this photo immediately came to mind. That was my biggest inspiration and I wanted to incorporate the colors and rustic feel although this is a very shabby page.

The earthy colours of this page are just gorgeous and the styling so very pretty! ;-)

Thanks so much Lisa for creating this fabulous page for us! ;-)

Please pop over to Lisa's blog...you will find plenty of inspiration and looooots of beauty! ;-)

To offer some more inspiration, we also have a previous TOP HAT Erina Katerina, who has created a stunning and beautiful page.

styles of scrapbooking but mostly i love to play with colours!!!So I make greeting cards,

layouts, mini albums and lately I get in at the magical world of art journal !! A world of

fun and mostly relaxing !!! For me scrapbooking became and will always remain my

favoutite hobby!

I am Spanish and live in Pamplona
(Navarra), the city of the "San Fermines". I live with my 5 year old
son and my three kittens adopted. Since childhood I liked to do and work with
my hands, paint, create ... all I could express my heart through my hands. I
like painting, I painted pictures and have become useless things useful to my
great imagination like my mother, jejejeje says ... I also love photography and
I am very sensitive but I have my character. When I discovered scrapbooking ...
I found my happy world !!! because it binds everything that I like.

Hello, my name

school in the beautiful island of Crete in sunny Greece.I'm
married to a wonderful man who tolerates and supports my new
passion ... scrapbooking!!!We have two kids and their coming in
our lives, made me looking into anything handmade that I could do as
a new mother to keep memories alive.Somewhere there I met
scrapbooking albums,lay outs and cards until I fell on mixed media
... That was !! It was love at first sight .Ever since i
stuck in this style, making lay outs who express me at different
phases of my life .Personally i like order and discipline in my life, but
not in art.Art has no limits and barriers ... Inspired by everything in
everyday life, from a photo-advertisement-music up to a walk in my
garden, by the sea or at the center of my town.Glad to be the Design Team
